GI Jane gets a little girly

Cargo shorts are not necessarily OK in my book, but cargo pants can be cute when they huge the right areas. These are cute enough to be badass but not bad as hell. Also, they're so cheap that even if you only wear them once or twice, it'll probably still be super worth it. But if you're going to do cargo pants, go with heels. And definitely a cute ruffle top.


(Pants) Charlotte Russe $14.99 

This top is just girly enough that it can work with the pants, but not too girly that it looks weird. It's form-fitting and the ruffles definitely girl it up. You could pair it with a lacey or super soft cashmere cardigan in an off-white color to keep it even cuter.

(Top) Charlotte Russe $9.99

Now for some shoes. You need some wedges. These are girly and badass at the same time and they're super tall so that the short girls out there can wear them. Unfortunately for me, I don't need them. But with my 6'3 requirement for men, I can still wear these.

(Shoes) Charlotte Russe $32.50

Avaitors are a necessity for any badass looking outfit, especially with the cargo pants they'll work super well. These are really cheap, which works mostly because in this outfit you're bound to get hit on and someone will rip them off of your face.

(Sunglasses) Charlotte Russe $5

This bag isn't super matchy, but it definitely matches. It's a neutral, get over it super matchy people. Also, the bow tie on the front gives it a girly flare. Also, you cant really see it in this small picture, but it's a lacey print on the bag to add even more girlishness to it.

(Bag) Charlotte Russe $14.50

Sorry this whole outfit was from one place, but I guess it makes it easy, right?

Total for this outfit: $76.98. Not bad, huh? Especially since, on a beer budget, you can re-purpose the bag, shoes and sunglasses with just about any outfit, including a few I've already posted on here! I think I'm going to order some of the things in my Shopping Bag on CharlotteRusse.com now.

It's beginning to feel a lot like springtime

Oh, H&M. We just featured the hell out of them in The Huntington News in an article about summer fashion. They might as well sponsor us. (Dress) H&M $22.80.

Now, when it comes to shoes, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to go colorful or traditional with black. So I have both options for you, obviously. The orange wedges aren't super practical, but they're adorable as hell and I'm sure you could find another alternative use for them...maybe. (Shoes) Zappos.com $89. Yeah yeah yeah, they're a little expensive ("champagne option"), but the black one's aren't, don't worry.

These can definitely be worn on a more-than-once kind of basis, which makes them more worth it. The "beer option" of the day. I mean, florals are super super in for this season, so they're hot as hell. But black. Just remember that. (Shoes) Zappos.com $49.95. Wedges are apparently easy to walk in too, another plus.

Obviously you need a bag to go with this. And cross-body bags are really practical and girly. This bag is only if you go for the BLACK shoes option. Don't want to be too multi-colored with orange shoes and a coral bag, yikes. Go with a neutral tone, like this bag, if you choose the colorful shoes. (Bag) Forever21 $22.80.

Now for a pair of earrings to top it all off. Wear your hair down and messy curly by the way. It'll be a super chill look with a bunch of sweet elements from this season. (Earrings) Forever 21 $3.80. Feathery, a different texture than the leatherette bag adds a little feminineness to the chunky heels and leather and chains bag.

Now for the total. Total for this outfit (with the black wedges) is $99.35. Total with the orange wedges is $138.40. You've gotta remember that I accessorize these outfits every time and you can really reuse many of them! You can add one of the belts I used in my first post over a simple white cardigan kind of like the one in this post, but not blue obviously.
